Rental yield calculator
Gross yield is what the listing quotes. Net yield is what the property actually returns once rates, strata, management and a couple of vacant weeks come out.
Enter the price, the rent, and what it costs to hold.

How this is calculated
Three yields, because the word gets used to mean all three.
- Gross yield
- Annual rent at 52 weeks divided by the purchase price. No costs, no vacancy. This is the listing number.
- Net yield
- Rent collected after vacancy, less annual holding costs, divided by the purchase price.
- Net yield on total outlay
- The same net income divided by the purchase price plus stamp duty and buying costs.
- Not included
- Mortgage interest, tax, depreciation and capital growth. Yield measures the property, not your financing or your tax position.
This calculator is for general information only and is not property or financial advice. Yield says nothing about capital growth, which is usually the larger part of a property return.
